The Democratic response to Bush’s address
From the New York Times:
Mr. Kennedy said Mr. Bush “should be ashamed of using a national day of mourning” to justify his Iraq policy, while Mr. Schumer said, “You do not commemorate the tragedy of 9/11 by politicizing it.”
Could they sound like bigger ninnies? Why are they wasting their time talking about being ashamed and whining about the politicization of 9/11?
There are legitimate failures to be discussed here. There is accountability to be enforced. The Democrats need to quit reacting to Republicans and chart their own political course.
(That totally rhymed.)
I’m really hoping we’ll have a return to divided government after the November elections. Some congressional oversight of the Executive would be nice. And I feel like a bill that can pass Congress and be signed by the President, when power is shared, is more deserving of being a law. I’m just afraid the Democrats will blow it this November.
